Gelert (or Gellert)

Dog owned by Llewelyn I, Prince of Wales. Legend has it that the dog was left in charge of the Prince's baby son and killed a wolf who came to attack him. When Llewelyn returned he imagined that Gelert had slain the child and immediately killed the dog. He discovered his mistake when he found the child lying quite safe under the overturned cradle, and the body of the wolf. A tomb stands to the dog's memory at Beddgelert near Snowdon, Wales.
